    Looks like an enjoyable day was had by all. At least all this wind is good for something.

    Yes, but not TOO many.

    Clipped wings or not, looks like the old AXN is still flying well.

    Very nice Uncle G, looks like you are getting the hang of your new Video Camera.

    And you are telling us YOU are going to miss it.

    I’m happy to come and pick you up if you can’t drive. Just won’t be the same if the Frog is not there.

    Very nice, I like what they have done to the old humpy.

    Gee I was well over the start line in Race 7, from where I was sitting I thought it was clear. Just as well I never got a podium spot in that race or I’d have to give it back.

    Great videos Gerald.

    Thanks.

    Well done, once again Mr Frog.

    Just got around to checking the marine forecast for tomorrow & like Chris said its the best day for the week wind wise however it is still very windy 5 to 10 knots early picking up to 10 to 15 knots around 11:00 am.

    At this stage I will give flying a miss tomorrow (Tuesday) but may go down for a sail @ the Duck.

     

    As for the Presidents plane, given the issues we had trying to recover the Tundra (all to no avail) I would strongly suggest leaving it to the elements to shake loose. It will happen but may take a little while.

    Ian may not be happy with this but we have all (except for Uncle G) been there and it’s just one of those things that you need to be patient about.

    Given that fully extended our rescue pole is barely controllable, attempting to extent it even further with another piece of material is prone to failure.

    Shooting a bow & arrow that close to a main road (even with the property owners permission) is extremely likely to bring unwanted attention of the worst kind to our little group.

    Given the work that Ross & I put into securing this flying site we do no want anyone putting it at risk in any way what so ever.

    Whilst we remain under the radar we do get away with pushing the flying boundaries somewhat but this could change in an instant.

    Please think about it and the wrath of your fellow flyers should we lose this site.

    With the way the wind has been today I reckon it could well be half way there.

    in reply to: Saturday Fly-In @ the field #5859

    Thanks Mr Moose, glad you could join us in all the frivolities.

    Blurry footage, isn’t that what Kermit refers to as “Soft Focus”

    in reply to: Midweek Fly-In 26th August 2020 #5843

    Well done Chris,   Yes its still up there but we had lots of practice that will prove invaluable when we get some decent bloody rope.!!!

    Just as well the arrow (0:40 sec) stopped short, it was making a bee line for your Mavic Mini

    Must say terrible choice of music, think it was better without it. Just my humble opinion.

    in reply to: The latest build (E-sky Eyas) 20-07-2020 #5822

    Just noticed this on the web today, looks like Horizon are releasing what looks like an E-Sky Eyas under their own brand at almost 3 times the price.

    in reply to: GETTING GRASS HOPPER ( TRY ONE ) #5815

    I’m sure the weather over the coming week will shake poor old Grasshopper loose & send it CRASHING DOWN to Terra Firma.
